### Description (declared)

# kanban-mcp

A database-backed kanban board that AI coding agents use via [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) (Model Context Protocol). Track issues, features, todos, epics, and diary entries across all your projects — with a web UI for humans and 40+ tools for agents.

## What It Does

- **Persistent project tracking** — issues, features, todos, epics, questions, diary entries stored in SQLite (default) or MySQL/MariaDB
- **Status workflows** — each item type has its own progression (backlog → todo → in_progress → review → done → closed)
- **Relationships & epics** — parent/child hierarchies, blocking relationships, epic progress tracking
- **Tags, decisions, file links** — attach metadata to any item
- **Semantic search** — find similar items using local ONNX embeddings (optional; downloads [nomic-embed-text-v1.5](https://huggingface.co/nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5) from HuggingFace on first use, ~140MB — the first query will block until download completes)
- **Activity timeline** — unified view of status changes, decisions, updates, and git commits
- **Export** — JSON, YAML, or Markdown output with filters
- **Web UI** — browser-based board at localhost:5000
- **Session hooks** — inject active items into AI agent sessions automatically

## Quick Start

Requires **Python 3.10+**.

**Linux / macOS:**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multidimensionalcats/kanban-mcp/main/install.sh | bash
```

**Windows (PowerShell):**
```powershell
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multidimensionalcats/kanban-mcp/main/install.ps1 | iex
```

The script prompts interactively (backend choice, etc.) then installs pipx
and kanban-mcp, sets up the database, runs migrations, and prints your MCP
config. SQLite is the default — just press Enter. No database server required.

**Want MySQL/M…
